International Women's Day- 8 March

International Women's Day- 8 March

International Women’s Day is a worldwide event that celebrates the achievements of women everywhere. This year’s celebration comes at the heels of an unprecedented movement for women’s rights as 2018 marks 100 years since women gained the vote after the suffragette movement.

There have also been global campaigns in the form of #MeToo and #TimesUp – bringing sexual harassment and equal pay to the forefront of the agenda. International Women's Day 2018 campaign theme is #PressforProgress. The day has been observed since 1908, and falls on March 8 each year.
